Just before my delivery I noticed linear darkening of my
skin below the belly button. Now that I have delivered, this skin discoloration
is still present. Is there anything I can do about it?
You have what is called linea nigra. This is due to excess
pigmentation of skin caused by a certain hormone released by the placenta. My
best advice is to keep away from all doctors as this condition will improve on
its own- it needs no treatment. You do not need to apply any oils, cream or
ointment. Just be patient and within a few weeks it will disappear. There are many
doctors who recommend bullshit plastic surgery procedures for this condition-
they are simply known as scammers and you should avoid them. The same applies
if you have melasma or cholasma-they require no treatment.
